Edit - Due to artifacts and crashing with the latest Nvidia drivers, I thought I'd mention that 347.25 works perfectly for me.

Shoot! I did it this afternoon. Just checked mine and I get the same.

Interesting, Ive used the nvidia 348.16-9 for months with no issues

Same. New driver caused the same issue, rolling back fixed it.

May I ask where you got a 348.xx driver? As far as I know, Nvidia skipped from 347-350?

Ben posted a note about this yesterday. He has a beta update available that should address the issue with the new driver.

Actually my system upgraded to 354.** I believe, last night.

Also, I run Arch Linux, so I get uncompiled early releases that I then modify to be more efficient and recompile. Could be the primary difference... I'll confirm more when I get home. However, the driver numbers should match regardless of OS when comparing to most recent stable versions.

FYI, the update for x-plane is out so feel free to update your cards. Some people are reporting increased fps now with both updates working.

increased fps now with both updates working.

No such thing - only increased settings

Nvidia driver just crashed at the end of the SFO-LAX flight..... No idea if its the driver or my XP, but I haven't had this problem before.

Sorry for the double screen, don't know how to capture just the one screen.

Update - Forgot to mention, the new driver actually destroyed my GPU - the time it took for my GPU to render a frame increased two-three fold. Rolling back th driver fixed the problem, as did the newest driver update.
